Bai Ye let out a breath, feeling a little scared.

Damn it, I almost let my teammates down!

Lin Ye was not worried, but Leon, Camille, and Baba were in trouble.

If they are not careful, they will be killed.

Bai Ye thanked his father, and through the rearview mirror he seemed to see his father smile?

…

The other side.

The townspeople all bought smile masks, and they also prepared one for the new family members (the chosen ones).

Outside the store, there was a mountain of miscellaneous items piled up. These were all items used for trading, including paper towels, sticks, branches, shorts... everything you could think of.

A single, solitary resident put on a smiling mask on the spot.

The next second, his body froze.

He stood there as if frozen, but soon returned to normal.

He left without taking off his mask.

He looked in the woods near him and started communicating with the ghost in his body.

"Hey, what's wrong with the mask?"

"have no idea."

"Didn't you say you know everything about astronomy and geography, and that there's nothing in the world of ghost stories you don't know?"

“…”

The ghost was speechless for a while, thinking to himself, why should I tell you if you don’t even let me out to breathe?

But in the end, it couldn't resist and told Lin Ye the news about the mask.

Smiling mask, it has another name: puppet mask.

Once put on, one will become a walking corpse, only obeying the orders of the mask's owner. After a long time, the mask will be integrated into the bones and blood and become one with the body.

From then on, his expression was always smiling, and he would still smile even if you stabbed him in the face.

This is a very evil mask, specially developed by some organizations in the world of ghost stories in order to control their subordinates.

However, it was banned very early on.

I don’t know why they appear here now, and there are so many of them!

After listening to the ghost's explanation, Lin Ye's expression became a little serious.

Without hesitation, he messaged Bai Ye about the mask.

When sending the message, he deliberately blocked the phone screen so that the live broadcast screen would not see what he was sending.

He also doesn't have to worry about arousing suspicion from people in other countries.

What's wrong with some private conversations between men?

Isn't this normal?

As Lin Ye thought about this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly unconsciously. Not long after, he returned home with his family.

The other selected candidates also got on the bus back home with their families.

…

Outside the Smile Store, the crowd has dispersed.

Several staff members in yellow clothes packed the piles of items on the ground into garbage bags.

At this time, a small yellow car drove up and stopped in front of the store.

The mayor and his two secretaries got out of the car and walked into the store together.

The other side.

The chosen ones also returned home.

The families invited the chosen ones to wear masks, but most of them smiled and refused their families as Bai Ye suggested.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

but……

There are always people with active minds who think that the mask may be a hidden prop.

In particular, they also saw that Bai Ye’s father also bought him a mask.

This gave some people other ideas.

As we all know, Bai Ye's family is really kind to him, how could they harm him?

From this we can infer that masks are not necessarily a disaster.

Some people listened to their families and accepted the masks.

They didn't put on masks right away, but went back to their room to study.

As expected, an accident happened!
